The effects of carbon and nitrogen sources on the interaction of three fungi, Penicillium citrinum, P. griseogulvum and Myrothecium roridum, and mycotoxin procuction were investigated under co – culture conditions. Co – culture in medium containing lactose and dextrin suppressed citrinin production by P.citrinum while co – culture in medium containing lactose and starch inhibited griseofulvin production by P.griseofulvum. M. roridum did not produce roridin in a mixed culture. It was also observed that the amount of mycotoxin produced varied with nitrogen source present in the medium.
